Keep updated with the latest news locally, media coverage and news from Parliament.
The Government’s Withdrawal Agreement was agreed with the European Union on 25 November 2018. It was HM Opposition that first called for a ‘meaningful vote’, and after two years of negotiations, the Government scheduled the ‘meaningful vote’ to be on 11 December 2018. However, the Government fearing that it would lose then withdrew the vote.
On Monday 11 March I attended ‘Tackling Plastic Pollution', co-hosted by the APPG on the Prevention of Plastic Waste, Plastic Oceans UK and the Coalition for Global Prosperity, about the damage that single-use plastic products are doing to Earth's ecosystems.
The Government has faced a number of defeats in the courts. The International Court of Justice said that Britain’s acquisition of the Chagos archipelago in the 1960s was “wrongful” and the High Court ruled that the Government’s ‘Right to Rent’ scheme is “discriminatory” and that its fracking guidelines are“unlawful”.
I attended the 'Taste of Cornwall' event at the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday 5 March, St. Piran's day, where a wonderful selection of Cornish produce was on show.
I took part in the #5050TeeChallenge on 2 March 2019, ahead of International Women's Day on 8 March.
